In 2004, Exmortis took your hand and lead you deep into the woods. In 2006, the sequel, Exmortis 2, showed you mankind's darkest hour... a fate you may have had a hand in. Finally, in 2009, you're given a chance to take your revenge, provided you can live long enough to see it out. From horror maestro Ben Leffler and 3RDsense comes Exmortis 3, a ghoulish point-and-clickadventure meant to be played with the lights turned out and the sound turned up.

Taking place where the previous game left off, the story has you playing Mr Hannay once more, a man with a bone to pick with the Exmortis and their ancient lord, Vlaew. He's a little more well-equipped this time around, finding himself able to wield strange new powers such as telekinesis and teleportation and a few others you'll discover. But watch your step. The path ahead is littered with traps and other dangers that could bring your quest to an untimely end. The game autosaves for you fairly frequently, but making use of the multiple save slots available from the options menu is advised.

Along with the time-honoured tradition of finding items and trying to combine them with other items (optional steps: consult walkthrough, call shenanigans on solution, throw tantrum), Exmortis 3 also features a fair amount of puzzles to solve. Some of them feel natural, such as re-wiring an electrical panel, but some of them are a little odd, such as playing a memory game with a traffic light. You heard me. If you get stuck, you can consult the full walkthrough located under the options in the menu, but doing so will penalize your final score slightly.

This is perhaps an odd thing to say about a game that features a bloody demon in a cowboy hat as its poster boy, but Exmortis 3 is very pretty. Lighting plays a big part, and not just in terms of providing darkened corners for unpleasantness to lurk in. Skies paint the landscape in tones of burnt copper and rusted rose, heavy clouds hanging overhead. You really do feel like you're in a ruined world, and the fleeting shadows and flickering lights of the lonely corridors will have you glancing over your shoulder.

Analysis: So it's been almost three years since the sequel, and you may be wondering how the game has held up, especially after its creator was picked up by Australian company 3RDsense. While the most obvious change is the addition of a price tag and a sleek new interface, but what else? The good news is, not much. Depending on whether or not you thought the originals were shining gems, the good news is also the bad news.

Some of Exmortis 3's problems aren't exactly exclusive to the title, but are rather familiar issues with the point-and-click game genre as a whole. You have situations that need to be resolved by The One Thing in a different location, when there are three objects in the room with you that would serve the same function. You may have to backtrack to meticulously hunt through scenes to find items that blend in a little too well with their surroundings.

The other good news is that the trademark Exmortis gore and spookiness are back in full force, despite being somewhat more subdued than previous titles. Well, if you consider "subdued" as translating to "less things jump out at you while the soundtrack goes screeeeeeeeee!" A lot of work has been put into establishing atmosphere that builds up and has you tensing at every fleeting shadow, every unopened door, not only with visuals, but with sound as well. Distant footsteps. The hushed whisper of the wind. The stealthy creak of a floorboard overhead.

I needed a refresher course on the story myself, but found the over-long backstory available from the main menu more confusing than helpful and wound up replaying the originals instead. Most conversations offer you the option to skip through them, and a lot of the reading is optional, but shouldn't the story serve to enhance the gameplay rather than feel like it's been awkwardly spoon-fed to the player? The game absolutely shines when it lets up on the text-heavy scenes. A little less big ancient demons and prophecies, and a little more creepy little girls in dark hallways, please.

While there's no denying Exmortis 3 looks good, sounds good, and has had a lot of love put into it, is a pretty package enough bang for your buck? If you're expecting a lengthy epic in return for your cash, you may be disappointed. While still considerably lengthier than the first two installments, Exmortis 3 still may take only a few hours to play for veterans of the genre. A very polished few hours, to be sure, but whether or not you find it worth the cost depends on how much you value quality over quantity, and whether or not the limited replayability is a potential killer.

In the end, fans of the series will find a lot to like about this third installment, and little to be disappointed by. I encourage you to give the first two games a try if you've never played the series before, and then try the demo for this latest before you make your decision. Exmortis 3 is a worthy successor despite its flaws, and may just wind up making you think twice about dismissing the things that go bump in the night.

Be sure to play the free Flash demo. Just click "Play Online Demo" on the right side of the screen!

This walkthrough can be found elsewhere but I assure you it was posted there BY ME. I've removed the profanity from where I originally posted it and this walkthrough will be broken down by chapters and, in some cases, even more broken down for character limit's sake:

Chapter: Extinction

Nuclear blast

Then these words appear:
Upon the wings of fire and devastation
I return. Reborn into a world that I once knew.

Strange archaic powers, foreign
and twisted, surge through me.

How I came to be here, as more than
human, I remember not.

But I promise this - I will have my
revenge upon the ancient enemy Vlaew…

and my people will taste freedom once again.

Click Continue

Either click on P (Powers) and use Telekinesis on crane or Grab cable hanging down and hook on the ground to the right, combining them by dragging one onto the other in your Inventory list

If you chose to use the items rather than Telekinesis, on your Inventory list, click Use and tether the combined cable and hook to the pipe on the upper right of the crater's rim

Climb out of the crater

See the Broughton City sign in bad condition

Ignore the staff on the right unless you're playing the demo version. If you're playing the demo version, you'll see a preview of the Full Version. If you're playing the Full Version, clicking on the right staff will merely say "The Future Is Undetermined"

Click on the left staff

These words will appear:
I remember the endless prison.
A crimson prison without bars.

Removed from my world
and flung into limbo.

Condemned to roam
forever alone…

Click the left arrow to go back out to the concourse

Click on Inventory and Use the Maintenance Key on the door to right

That's your daughter!

Click on her

Things go haywire and she pixelates into oblivion (Bye, sweetie! Don't forget to pray for daddy!)

When that's all over, click on the door at the end of the corridor - the Systems Room

Click around and you'll see that there's two generators and a switch

The generator on the left (Active Main) is empty of fuel

The generator on the right (Inactive Reserve) is full

The lever on the circuit cabinet to the right does nothing but reset when you click on it

Click on Inventory and Use jerry can/fuel can

Click between the two generators to place it - Can be touchy - Click just to the right of the closest end of the left generator. Eventually, it will set down

Click on Inventory and Use the green rubber hose

Click on the top of the jerry can/fuel can, and the hose connects and you hear liquid moving (provided you have sound)

The can is now full. Click on it to add that full can to your Inventory then click Use

Click on the left generator (Active Main), the far end on the top of it, to fill it with the fuel

Click on the switch on the circuit cabinet on the right to power it up

Alriiiiiiiiight! Power! B-b-but why's the light red?

*Sigh* It has to be configured (rerouted)

Click on the handle below the lever you flipped

A puzzle to solve. The goal to this puzzle is to use the levers around the edges to drag the O rings around until each of the 10 O rings is hovering over a LIT light. (This puzzle changes light locations each time, unfortunately) What I do is draw a quick sketch of 20 circles on a piece of paper, put an X over each light that DOESN'T light and leave the lights that DO light, alone. After you've figured out which lights light and which don't, you won't waste as much time. You can just concentrate on moving the O rings to the correct places.

Once you solve it, the light on the circuit cabinet turns green. The power has been configured/rerouted correctly.

Click the right arrow to leave the Systems Room

Click the left door to go back out to the main concourse

Go ahead to the Ticketmaster's Office again

Click on the computer just below the bottom left of the map

Click on the power button (The power button for the computer, not to use powers)

Eureka! We've got power!

Switch the Forced Radio Broadcast to Yes

Switch the Platform Lighting to On

Chapter: Exposure (Pt 2)

The security gates on the left are now open

Click on the turn styles there to head to the platforms

You'll see a few signs: From left to right, we have a sign with an arrow above some stairs (to platform 2), a sign with an arrow and a 1 (to platform 1) and two symbols representing Mens and Womens restrooms

Click on the Mens restroom sign

Click the slowly-blinking red light on the left side to turn the light on

A big scary man comes outta the mirror for a moment then goes away (If you're jumpy, we'll ALL wait for you to go change your pants)

Click on the paper towel dispenser

Click on the paper towel to add it to your Inventory

Do this two more times until you have a total of 3 paper towels in your inventory

Click on Inventory and Use the 3 paper towels on the drain for the sink on the right

Click on the top of the faucet and turn the water on

It overflows

Click on the right arrow and see where the water has gone into a drain and caused its contents to float to the surface

Click on the Magnetic Key Card to add it to your Inventory

Click on your daughter, Steph's, toddler shoes hanging in the stall

Click the left arrow to head back to the sink view

Be a rebel and leave the water running and the light on (No reason…you can turn ‘em off if ya wanna. Neither way has any effect on the game)

Click on the door to leave the Mens restroom

Click on the sign to enter the Womens restroom

Note one stall with an open door and one stall with a closed door

Note the strings above the stall door on the right. Click on the string on the left to cut it or you'll get a severe case of heartburn when you open that stall door

Click on the crowbar BUT, BE CAREFUL: You MUST click on the bottom left of the crowbar to pick it up. Clicking on the upper right will set off the arrows resulting in severe dread

Click on the right arrow to leave the Womens restroom

Click on the center of the screen with the red arrow streaming off into the distance to continue on to Platform 1

Note the green light meaning track is active/unlocked and the room off to the right with a sign saying Signal Box

Also note the wire running across the track just ahead. Click on this wire to cut it. (I click on the right end of it, personally. Not sure it makes any difference where ya cut it)

The first time I played this game I didn't cut it and didn't stop going forward either. I was extremely unhappy with the result

Click on Inventory and Use the magnetic key card on the slot just to the right of the Signal Box room

Click on the door to enter

Click on the near side of the box that is now in front of you

Click on Inventory and Use the fan belt the corpse so generously provided for us back in the Ticketmaster's Office

Click on the stairs at the far right

Click in the dark area on the right

Click the left side to go back to the main concourse

Click the arrow to head up the stairs to Platform 2

Chapter: Exposure (Pt 3)

You're now looking at a train

The left doors on the train ahead are locked tight

The right doors on the train ahead "appear slightly ajar" and "can be pried apart fairly easily using something as a lever"

or you "can use your powers"

You can click on Inventory and Use the crowbar on the doors or click on Powers and use Telekinesis to open them

Click the open doorway

You're now on the train

Note the four corpses all smiling at you

Click on the corpses leaning on each other (the left of the two) to get a coin pouch

Click on the red arrow in the aisle to continue on to the driver's compartment

None of the pretty lights and buttons do anything except for two…but only one for now: The center control labeled "Speed/braking"

Click on it

You're now driving a train!

Note the "Big Red Button" which is the emergency brake, just left of center

Aaaaaaaand we're driving down the traaaaaaaaacks

Longer ride than ya thought, huh?

What's that sound?? (If you have sound. If not, read the screen! It ain't sayin your coffee's ready!!)

The tunnel's caved in ahead! Hit the BRAAAAAAAAKES!

Phew!

Click on the right arrow to leave the driver's compartment and return to the first train car

Click on the left arrow to leave the train altogether

You can't go forward so you'll have to go left

You see a door with a "strange color-coded keypad", a Don't Walk sign and some graffiti.

Click on the "strange color-coded keypad"

A light lit up (and a sound played)

If you're my age, or thereabouts, you likely remember an electronic game called Simon. If not, it was a game where you had to mimic the color/sound pattern the game did. First the game does it, then you. Once you get it right on one step, it adds a step. It continues to do so until it reaches 10 steps. This puzzle is like that. Watch and listen to the lights and sounds, mimic them on the colored keypad and try and keep up until you've solved it completely. (What I sometimes do here, because it's just easier, is write down what each one is on a piece of paper. For example: R for Red, G for Green, Y for Yellow and B for Blue. The game gets up to 10 tones (steadily increasing speed) before being complete and one can lose track. If you do it my way, you end up with something like GYBBRYYRGG. Get it? Hope so. Unfortunately, this game does NOT use the same pattern every time you play. (Hence why I started doing it my way) You can enter these patterns as fast or as slow as you want. If you get the puzzle wrong 3 times, you fall to your death in a pit of spikes.

When you solve it, the Don't Walk sign changes to Walk

Click on the door to enter

You're now in a room with body parts on hooks and on the table, a knife rack, a headless corpse sitting at the table, a large, black metallic door, a cast iron oven and a guy sharpening a knife

You've gotta take care of this guy sharpening the knife in order to move on. There's only one way to do so and that's Telekinesis

This will then lift him by the neck and make him curse your existence

Question/speak with him to get the information you need

Decide to either spare or kill him

The power of Destruction is now added to your Powers

Click on the arm hanging on the hook, off to the left a bit, and take the pocket watch

Click on the large, black metallic door to continue

Click on the bright light at the end of the tunnel

Click on the red arrow on the tracks

Chapter: Exodus (Pt 1)

You see two stone pillars with a sign saying Hobbs Junction

Note that on the left pillar, a letter R circled in red. If you've read notes and letters you'd know that this means The Resistance is associated with this place

Click the red arrow to enter Hobbs Junction

You'll come to a path with a large tree on the left

Click on the limb at the base of the large tree to reveal a 4-digit numerical code there (7249) Remember it or write it down (This code never changes)

Continue down the path

You come to an elevated walkway with a guard walking left and right, back and forth

As you've seen, it's foggy out so you're able to be as close as you are without being seen (Ironic, seeing as how we can see him!)

A building is on the right and a "skip-bin" (dumpster, for us American folks) is on the left

Ya don't wanna be spotted so you've got to find a way to distract the guard

Click on the furthest door on the skip-bin/dumpster to open it

Click inside and a sandstone rock is added to your inventory

Click Use for that sandstone

Aim at the center under the walkway and click. This will throw the sandstone rock, thus distracting the guard

When the guard turns to face where the sound came from, click on the rusted and corrugated sheet of metal

This will lay it over and reveal a broken window

Through the break in that window you will see a red button

Click on that button

This sets off an alarm which makes the radio traffic go wild and the guard run off to assist

Click the path to continue past the elevated walkway

Click on the door in the center of the screen

Upon hovering your cursor over the door and parts of it, you can see that the fortified iron door has "stakes" and "notches"

Clicking on these stakes moves them one notch further

When hovering over the stakes, the text at the bottom tells you "this stake is currently at notch number" and a number between 1 and 9 is given

Here's where the code we found etched into the tree trunk comes in

To solve the door puzzle, do the following:
Click the 2nd stake until the 1st stake is in notch 7
Click the 3rd stake until the 2nd stake is in notch 2
Click the 4th stake until it is in notch 9
Click the 2nd stake until the 3rd stake is in notch 4
Click the 1st notch until it is in notch 7

Voila! The door opens!

You're now standing in a dark place with a darkened light bulb dangling in front of you, as well as a string

Pull the string to turn the light on

Immediately a sign saying "Gas masks to be worn at all times" stares back at you (NOW ya tell me!)

There are two vents on the left and right of the wall facing you and they're now belching forth some kind of gas into the room with you. You cough, gasp and black out. (There's no way to get past this. Just roll with it)

You wake up in front of a house. It's YOUR house

Click on the mailbox

Click on the front door

Click either the left door or the right door. The center door won't do anything. For purposes of following along with me, click on the left door

You see 3 grids on the wall in front of you, one on the floor and hear a little girl crying and screaming

Try to see a pattern from one grid to the next from left to right. (This puzzle never changes)

Chapter: Exodus (Pt 2)

The pattern is this: The arrow-shaped symbol moves down and to the right one space as well as rotating once clockwise. The round symbol moves down and to the right one space and then starts again at the top and repeats. Therefore, to complete the puzzle, do the following:
Hover over the the arrow-shaped symbol on the floor until you see arrows going around it and the text at the bottom of the screen saying Click to Rotate. Click on it until its point is aimed upward. Then click on the center of it (when circling arrows are not present) and then click on the far right bottom square (4th over, 4th down) to place that tile there. Next, click on the tile with the round symbol on it and place it two squares above the other (4th over, 2nd down)

When done correctly, the room will shake and a symbol written "in the language of the Ancients" meaning Offspring, will appear

Click on the right side of the screen to go back out into the area you were before

Click on the right door to enter that room

Here we have another puzzle as well as the sounds of a woman crying

The purpose of this puzzle is to rotate the discs until you have connected all the lines in some way. You will notice there are one to several light areas on the edge(s) of the puzzle. Each of these will need a line connected to it as well. Each disc rotates clockwise a quarter of a turn every time you click on it. Some will need clicked upon multiple times. I don't believe this puzzle is always the same but I reserve the right to be incorrect here

When solved, the room will shake like the last one did and a symbol written "in the language of the Ancients" meaning Lover, will appear

Click the left side of the room on the red arrow that appears to go back into the previous area

When you arrive in the previous room, you hear an evil laugh (Vlaew's) and the room shakes. It then falls apart and reveals what is, in all likelihood, Hell

The room comes back together but is a different room now

In the center hangs a portrait or mirror with a once-human "Reader" in/on it who begins speaking to you. Follow along and ask/speak with him. You'll learn that Lord Vlaew "bestowed the power to alter reality as he sees fit" upon him

When you are finished speaking with him/it, you will be left with a choice. Forget that choice…there's more. (I played this game twice before I realized there was an option after the ugly dude spoke)

Click on the curtains just to his left

Click on the curtain rod

It will be added to your inventory

Click Use

Click on the Reader to impale him!

When the screen comes back, click on the letter and file in front of you

On the far right there's a glass of water. Drink it. It replenishes you a bit

There's nothing more for you here. Teleport at the window

You're now on the outside. Ahhhhh. The fresh air!

Well, it would have been fresh if not for the bodies stinkin' it up!

Click on the broken window to the left

Click the keys on the wall. Jeep keys! Woot!

Click the document on the table and read it (or not). I always like to read everything in case it gives a subtle hint for something later. That or it makes something make sense….possibly….sometimes.

Click on the rolled up map

Click to the right to go back outside

Click forward

Click on the sniper rifle on the ground. (NOW we're talkin'!)

Click on your Inventory and Use the Jeep keys then click on the Jeep

Chapter: Execution (Pt 1)

Click on the bell tower to the right

You'll see some guard towers in the distance

Click on your Inventory and Use your new sniper rifle

There are 2 guards you need to kill on the left guard tower

They are apparently wearing body armor or can take a shot really, really well. Aim for their heads. (You get 500 points for head shots too)

If you fail to kill these 2 guards now, you will regret it later

Once they're dead, click on Powers and then on Teleportation. Teleport to the church

Click on the church's door to enter

In the lower left corner there is a sledge hammer, click on it to add it to your Inventory

(Note: From a few places I've read, there's supposed to be a preacher's diary on the floor to click on as well. Having played the game twice [after learning to kill the reader and move further in the game], there has been no such diary. A glitch? Perhaps. Perhaps it will show up on a later playing-of-the-game for me)

Click the rope that is running from the ceiling, over a hook and down the left wall

This will drop what was covering a window up above on the back wall

If it isn't too late (one of my attempts was too late for this part because of taking too long looking for the diary), notice the moon shines through the window at the top center and shines on the floor

Click where it hits and a previously-hidden door will open

Click in the opened doorway

Click on the Kriss Blade (wavy sword) to add it to your Inventory

Click on Inventory and Use the sledgehammer on the wall

Click on the hole in the wall

If you need it, the water running down the middle of the screen will be clickable. Click on it to replenish a bit. If it isn't needed, then it's not clickable

Click ahead

Use the sledgehammer on the lock

Click on the winding path to the right

A new puzzle! Oh goody!

There are 4 plaques with options for either a solid circle or the outline of one. Your task, should you wish to accept it (and move on), is to guess which should be which to get through. Click on a plaque to change it.

Once you've done what you think the solution is, click on the lever to the right. This will either open the gate or reveal a number.

This number reveals how many you have correct. I've gotten lucky and gotten it on my 2nd attempt every time so far. The code for me was outlined, solid, outlined, outlined. This changes each game. My 2nd time doing it was solid, outlined, solid, solid

You get 4 chances to get the code right or it resets

Once the gate has opened, click on the barely-visible corpse just to the right and get the C4 pack

Click ahead

You can either use Telekinesis or the C4 pack to blow the gate that is now in front of you. It will also take out the guards that are there

After you do, a pistol comes sliding out of the carnage. Click on it to add it to your Inventory. (A Glock! SWEET!)

When you click on it and it's added to your Inventory, note that it says hitting the G key on your keyboard will arm the gun. (It will also put it away so you can continue without shooting at directional arrows)

Click ahead

Hit the G key on your keyboard now or prepare to use Telekinesis

Take out the 3 guards. (Remember: Headshots if using the Glock)

Click on the stairs

Take out the 2 guards there

Go to the lift (elevator, for us American folks)

Click on the button to the left and either press G now or prepare to use Telekinesis

Take out the guard that comes down with the lift/elevator

Click in the lift/elevator

Chapter: Execution (Pt 2)

When the doors open, a pretty cool building is in front of us

Just off to the right there is a stone thing. Click on that

Click on Inventory and Use the Kriss Blade/wavy sword on it

Click outside of it to return to the previous view

Click on the big, scary doors

Nothing happens in this view. Click ahead

Click on the door at the end of the hallway and take a deep breath

There sits Vlaew on his throne. (If you've done any amount of reading in the first 2 versions of Exmortis, or read around in this game, you'll know who this is). He's not known for his gentle demeanor

Click on Vlaew to have a chat

He's giving you the first shot. Use it wisely

Click on Powers and use either Telekinesis or Destruction on him. (Note: Using Destruction is a little bit harder simply because the red area you have to catch the slider in is much smaller than you've been used to)

Vlaew will go flying out of the window behind him

Where did he go?

Either click on Powers and use Teleportation to go outside or click and go back the way you came. (I give all of these choices but I tend to try not to use powers when the chance is given [and there's another option], because using powers lowers health)

Click on the ladder to go down

Ah! Theeeeeeere he is! He's using some kind of force field to protect him. (Hey! Where's OURS?!?)

Yet another chat

The quicker you do these next steps, the better for your health. Remember, for speed's sake, you can hit the 1 and 5 keys on your keyboard to switch between Telekinesis and Destruction Powers

Use Telekinesis on the orange spots at the tops of either side of the force field. It will drop momentarily

(If he gets a stone thrown at you, Use Telekinesis on those as well)

When the force field drops, hit the 5 key on your keyboard to switch to Destruction and use it on him

it sucks that its only being sold by fizzy, I paid for the game, took me 2 hours to download it and then it won't run! Not to mention my inbox is being spammed with fizzy stuff yet they are still "working" on getting my refund for the game after three days despite a 48 hour promise and a 7 day refund promise, this has made me hate fizzy and turned me off to this series, even through the game is sound

Nailbunny, you'll need to do some exploring in the other buildings and gather a few more items. Pay attention to the letters and communication gathered in Room 23, they indicate where you will need to go, then you have to figure out how to get there.

I chose to pay for a Fizzy.com subscription ($6), which I will cancel before the end of the month. The game takes forever to load, but stays in the cache, so loads quickly if you need to reload later. I personally didn't think it was worth the full price of $20.

It is absolutely gorgeous and full of atmos-fear. Great sound design. Very polished. However, I have to agree with the review here: way too much blah blah blah (and ALL IN CAPS), one item to do one task, illogical or forced puzzles, etc. Except for the first chapter which allows for some exploration, the rest is basically a linear series of scenes which you are railroaded through, and the object needed to solve the next "puzzle" is often provided in the previous screen.

The worst is the inventory screen, which makes a suspenseful crescendo noise EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN IT. The inventory is a text list, which shows a small picture of the item when you click it, and then to use something you must click a 15x15 pixel "USE" button. These interface screens are too "shiny" and overdone, don't seem to match the rest of the game, and completely fill the screen, taking you out of the game.

I did like the powers and the health, that allows for some variety, but the later chapters rely almost completely on reflexes and skill rather than just point-and-click (or offering multiple solutions, one clicky, one reflexy). I'm no slouch, but I needed to use CPUkiller to slow things down enough for one part. This kind of breaks the game.

I bought the game and I love it.
I think it's AWESOME. The overall atmosphere is unsettling, dark and gloomy. I think the lighting is great, it sure does give you the feeling of walking about in a threathening, ruined world.
It fits in very well with Exm. 1& 2.

But...

@ Strangelander:

I totally agree with your last 2 paragraphs.
I'm having a hard time to finish the later chapter where you have to fight

Vlaew, who's throwing stones from behind a force shield. After deactivating the light bolds I can't hit the demon quick enough. Clicking slows down considerably in that scene. The game just seems to hang in there, and I get killed... :(

Awsome game play. The addition of powers was an excellent idea. Amazing story line. However, unlike to the other Exmortis games, there was only 1 scare part. Granted, the mens bathroom scene made me jump. but it was the only one. Those types of scares are why we fell inlove with the exmortis series. Not for all the bells and whistles.

I am missing one achievement and it's annoying me. I checked the walk through after i beat it. I believe it is the priests diary on the floor of the church. I have a point saved there. I'm looking at it as we speak. I see no diary. I've clicked the entire screen. How am i missing it? any help?

that is a screenshot of what happens if you use telekinesis on Azrael to kill him when he asks you to. If you missed Azrael, he appears at the end of the chapter that can be triggered by clicking on one of the red glowing orbs at the entrance of the town.

Same problem as "Bloatedsack": "Hmm, I clicked through to the flash demo page.
The URL is fizzy.com, but once it loads it throws a message "Pirated domain! You must play this at fizzy.com" with a 'go there now' button."

Haha! I love how Fizzy.com thinks its own site is a pirated domain. Nice one. :p

Too bad the full version isn't available for the Mac, or I would totally buy this. Wouldn't even bother with the demo (at this point, that's sort of a moot point anyway. Has ANYONE gotten that silliness to work?). Exmortis has been a top-notch series and $20 is well-within the admission price for that kind of quality.

I haven't had problems with Fizzy not recognizing itself using Firefox on Mac or PC (Bootcamp).

I have Bootcamp, like it a lot. I tried using the online version of Exmortis 3 on Mac, but the Flash plugin for Mac is very inefficient (boo on Macromedia), and if you load a game that big, it runs way too slowly. On my PC side, it worked just fine.

Different endings? Yes, there are different endings, but I can't cope with the final ending. It's HARD. Just too hard. Wish there was someone to guide me!! I can't beat the game!!
Am I the only person who runs the full version?? HELP!

(Spoiler alert) not to be mean, but If you can't beat the end with out some cheat, you have 0 hand-eye coordination.

You use telekineses on the the 2 orbs above window thing, then use it on vlaew. you can also use it on the boulders he throws, or just hit vlaew to destroy them, depending on your timing.

Another thing, the more you use your powers through out the game, the higher your power bar goes up. the higher the bar goes up, the faster the meter moves when you use the skill, making it easier to use. Howevere, I beat him the first time with an extremely slow meter.

This walkthrough can be found elsewhere but I assure you it was posted there BY ME. I've removed the profanity from where I originally posted it and this walkthrough will be broken down by chapters and, in some cases, even more broken down for character limit's sake:

Chapter: Extinction

Nuclear blast

Then these words appear:
Upon the wings of fire and devastation
I return. Reborn into a world that I once knew.

Strange archaic powers, foreign
and twisted, surge through me.

How I came to be here, as more than
human, I remember not.

But I promise this - I will have my
revenge upon the ancient enemy Vlaew…

and my people will taste freedom once again.

Click Continue

Either click on P (Powers) and use Telekinesis on crane or Grab cable hanging down and hook on the ground to the right, combining them by dragging one onto the other in your Inventory list

If you chose to use the items rather than Telekinesis, on your Inventory list, click Use and tether the combined cable and hook to the pipe on the upper right of the crater's rim

Climb out of the crater

See the Broughton City sign in bad condition

Ignore the staff on the right unless you're playing the demo version. If you're playing the demo version, you'll see a preview of the Full Version. If you're playing the Full Version, clicking on the right staff will merely say "The Future Is Undetermined"

Click on the left staff

These words will appear:
I remember the endless prison.
A crimson prison without bars.

Removed from my world
and flung into limbo.

Condemned to roam
forever alone…

That's your daughter!

Click on her

Things go haywire and she pixelates into oblivion (Bye, sweetie! Don't forget to pray for daddy!)

When that's all over, click on the door at the end of the corridor - the Systems Room

Click around and you'll see that there's two generators and a switch

The generator on the left (Active Main) is empty of fuel

The generator on the right (Inactive Reserve) is full

The lever on the circuit cabinet to the right does nothing but reset when you click on it

Click on Inventory and Use jerry can/fuel can

Click between the two generators to place it - Can be touchy - Click just to the right of the closest end of the left generator. Eventually, it will set down

Click on Inventory and Use the green rubber hose

Click on the top of the jerry can/fuel can, and the hose connects and you hear liquid moving (provided you have sound)

The can is now full. Click on it to add that full can to your Inventory then click Use

Click on the left generator (Active Main), the far end on the top of it, to fill it with the fuel

Click on the switch on the circuit cabinet on the right to power it up

Alriiiiiiiiight! Power! B-b-but why's the light red?

*Sigh* It has to be configured (rerouted)

Click on the handle below the lever you flipped

A puzzle to solve. The goal to this puzzle is to use the levers around the edges to drag the O rings around until each of the 10 O rings is hovering over a LIT light. (This puzzle changes light locations each time, unfortunately) What I do is draw a quick sketch of 20 circles on a piece of paper, put an X over each light that DOESN'T light and leave the lights that DO light, alone. After you've figured out which lights light and which don't, you won't waste as much time. You can just concentrate on moving the O rings to the correct places.

Once you solve it, the light on the circuit cabinet turns green. The power has been configured/rerouted correctly.

Click the right arrow to leave the Systems Room

Click the left door to go back out to the main concourse

Click on the door to leave the Mens restroom

Click on the sign to enter the Womens restroom

Note one stall with an open door and one stall with a closed door

Note the strings above the stall door on the right. Click on the string on the left to cut it or you'll get a severe case of heartburn when you open that stall door

Note the green light meaning track is active/unlocked and the room off to the right with a sign saying Signal Box

Also note the wire running across the track just ahead. Click on this wire to cut it. (I click on the right end of it, personally. Not sure it makes any difference where ya cut it)

The first time I played this game I didn't cut it and didn't stop going forward either. I was extremely unhappy with the result

Click on Inventory and Use the magnetic key card on the slot just to the right of the Signal Box room

Click on the door to enter

Click on the near side of the box that is now in front of you

Chapter: Exposure (Pt 3)

You're now looking at a train

The left doors on the train ahead are locked tight

The right doors on the train ahead "appear slightly ajar" and "can be pried apart fairly easily using something as a lever"

or you "can use your powers"

You can click on Inventory and Use the crowbar on the doors or click on Powers and use Telekinesis to open them

Click the open doorway

You're now on the train

Note the four corpses all smiling at you

Click on the corpses leaning on each other (the left of the two) to get a coin pouch

Click on the red arrow in the aisle to continue on to the driver's compartment

None of the pretty lights and buttons do anything except for two…but only one for now: The center control labeled "Speed/braking"

Click on it

You're now driving a train!

Note the "Big Red Button" which is the emergency brake, just left of center

Aaaaaaaand we're driving down the traaaaaaaaacks

Longer ride than ya thought, huh?

What's that sound?? (If you have sound. If not, read the screen! It ain't sayin your coffee's ready!!)

The tunnel's caved in ahead! Hit the BRAAAAAAAAKES!

Phew!

Click on the right arrow to leave the driver's compartment and return to the first train car

Click on the left arrow to leave the train altogether

You can't go forward so you'll have to go left

You see a door with a "strange color-coded keypad", a Don't Walk sign and some graffiti.

Click on the "strange color-coded keypad"

A light lit up (and a sound played)

If you're my age, or thereabouts, you likely remember an electronic game called Simon. If not, it was a game where you had to mimic the color/sound pattern the game did. First the game does it, then you. Once you get it right on one step, it adds a step. It continues to do so until it reaches 10 steps. This puzzle is like that. Watch and listen to the lights and sounds, mimic them on the colored keypad and try and keep up until you've solved it completely. (What I sometimes do here, because it's just easier, is write down what each one is on a piece of paper. For example: R for Red, G for Green, Y for Yellow and B for Blue. The game gets up to 10 tones (steadily increasing speed) before being complete and one can lose track. If you do it my way, you end up with something like GYBBRYYRGG. Get it? Hope so. Unfortunately, this game does NOT use the same pattern every time you play. (Hence why I started doing it my way) You can enter these patterns as fast or as slow as you want. If you get the puzzle wrong 3 times, you fall to your death in a pit of spikes.

When you solve it, the Don't Walk sign changes to Walk

Click on the door to enter

You're now in a room with body parts on hooks and on the table, a knife rack, a headless corpse sitting at the table, a large, black metallic door, a cast iron oven and a guy sharpening a knife

You've gotta take care of this guy sharpening the knife in order to move on. There's only one way to do so and that's Telekinesis

This will then lift him by the neck and make him curse your existence

Question/speak with him to get the information you need

Decide to either spare or kill him

The power of Destruction is now added to your Powers

Click on the arm hanging on the hook, off to the left a bit, and take the pocket watch

Click on the large, black metallic door to continue

Click on the bright light at the end of the tunnel

Click on the red arrow on the tracks

Chapter: Exodus (Pt 1)

You see two stone pillars with a sign saying Hobbs Junction

Note that on the left pillar, a letter R circled in red. If you've read notes and letters you'd know that this means The Resistance is associated with this place

Click the red arrow to enter Hobbs Junction

You'll come to a path with a large tree on the left

Click on the limb at the base of the large tree to reveal a 4-digit numerical code there (7249) Remember it or write it down (This code never changes)

Continue down the path

You come to an elevated walkway with a guard walking left and right, back and forth

As you've seen, it's foggy out so you're able to be as close as you are without being seen (Ironic, seeing as how we can see him!)

A building is on the right and a "skip-bin" (dumpster, for us American folks) is on the left

Ya don't wanna be spotted so you've got to find a way to distract the guard

Click on the furthest door on the skip-bin/dumpster to open it

Click inside and a sandstone rock is added to your inventory

Click Use for that sandstone

Aim at the center under the walkway and click. This will throw the sandstone rock, thus distracting the guard

When the guard turns to face where the sound came from, click on the rusted and corrugated sheet of metal

This will lay it over and reveal a broken window

Through the break in that window you will see a red button

Click on that button

This sets off an alarm which makes the radio traffic go wild and the guard run off to assist

Click the path to continue past the elevated walkway

Click on the door in the center of the screen

Upon hovering your cursor over the door and parts of it, you can see that the fortified iron door has "stakes" and "notches"

Clicking on these stakes moves them one notch further

When hovering over the stakes, the text at the bottom tells you "this stake is currently at notch number" and a number between 1 and 9 is given

Here's where the code we found etched into the tree trunk comes in

To solve the door puzzle, do the following:
Click the 2nd stake until the 1st stake is in notch 7
Click the 3rd stake until the 2nd stake is in notch 2
Click the 4th stake until it is in notch 9
Click the 2nd stake until the 3rd stake is in notch 4
Click the 1st notch until it is in notch 7

Voila! The door opens!

You're now standing in a dark place with a darkened light bulb dangling in front of you, as well as a string

Pull the string to turn the light on

Immediately a sign saying "Gas masks to be worn at all times" stares back at you (NOW ya tell me!)

There are two vents on the left and right of the wall facing you and they're now belching forth some kind of gas into the room with you. You cough, gasp and black out. (There's no way to get past this. Just roll with it)

You wake up in front of a house. It's YOUR house

Click on the mailbox

Click on the front door

Click either the left door or the right door. The center door won't do anything. For purposes of following along with me, click on the left door

You see 3 grids on the wall in front of you, one on the floor and hear a little girl crying and screaming

Try to see a pattern from one grid to the next from left to right. (This puzzle never changes)

Chapter: Exodus (Pt 2)

The pattern is this: The arrow-shaped symbol moves down and to the right one space as well as rotating once clockwise. The round symbol moves down and to the right one space and then starts again at the top and repeats. Therefore, to complete the puzzle, do the following:
Hover over the the arrow-shaped symbol on the floor until you see arrows going around it and the text at the bottom of the screen saying Click to Rotate. Click on it until its point is aimed upward. Then click on the center of it (when circling arrows are not present) and then click on the far right bottom square (4th over, 4th down) to place that tile there. Next, click on the tile with the round symbol on it and place it two squares above the other (4th over, 2nd down)

When done correctly, the room will shake and a symbol written "in the language of the Ancients" meaning Offspring, will appear

Click on the right side of the screen to go back out into the area you were before

Click on the right door to enter that room

Here we have another puzzle as well as the sounds of a woman crying

The purpose of this puzzle is to rotate the discs until you have connected all the lines in some way. You will notice there are one to several light areas on the edge(s) of the puzzle. Each of these will need a line connected to it as well. Each disc rotates clockwise a quarter of a turn every time you click on it. Some will need clicked upon multiple times. I don't believe this puzzle is always the same but I reserve the right to be incorrect here

When solved, the room will shake like the last one did and a symbol written "in the language of the Ancients" meaning Lover, will appear

Click the left side of the room on the red arrow that appears to go back into the previous area

When you arrive in the previous room, you hear an evil laugh (Vlaew's) and the room shakes. It then falls apart and reveals what is, in all likelihood, Hell

The room comes back together but is a different room now

In the center hangs a portrait or mirror with a once-human "Reader" in/on it who begins speaking to you. Follow along and ask/speak with him. You'll learn that Lord Vlaew "bestowed the power to alter reality as he sees fit" upon him

When you are finished speaking with him/it, you will be left with a choice. Forget that choice…there's more. (I played this game twice before I realized there was an option after the ugly dude spoke)

Click on the curtains just to his left

Click on the curtain rod

It will be added to your inventory

Click Use

Click on the Reader to impale him!

When the screen comes back, click on the letter and file in front of you

On the far right there's a glass of water. Drink it. It replenishes you a bit

There's nothing more for you here. Teleport at the window

You're now on the outside. Ahhhhh. The fresh air!

Well, it would have been fresh if not for the bodies stinkin' it up!

Click on the broken window to the left

Click the keys on the wall. Jeep keys! Woot!

Click the document on the table and read it (or not). I always like to read everything in case it gives a subtle hint for something later. That or it makes something make sense….possibly….sometimes.

Click on the rolled up map

Click to the right to go back outside

Click forward

Click on the sniper rifle on the ground. (NOW we're talkin'!)

Click on your Inventory and Use the Jeep keys then click on the Jeep

Chapter: Execution (Pt 1)

Click on the bell tower to the right

You'll see some guard towers in the distance

Click on your Inventory and Use your new sniper rifle

There are 2 guards you need to kill on the left guard tower

They are apparently wearing body armor or can take a shot really, really well. Aim for their heads. (You get 500 points for head shots too)

If you fail to kill these 2 guards now, you will regret it later

Once they're dead, click on Powers and then on Teleportation. Teleport to the church

Click on the church's door to enter

In the lower left corner there is a sledge hammer, click on it to add it to your Inventory

(Note: From a few places I've read, there's supposed to be a preacher's diary on the floor to click on as well. Having played the game twice [after learning to kill the reader and move further in the game], there has been no such diary. A glitch? Perhaps. Perhaps it will show up on a later playing-of-the-game for me)

Click the rope that is running from the ceiling, over a hook and down the left wall

This will drop what was covering a window up above on the back wall

If it isn't too late (one of my attempts was too late for this part because of taking too long looking for the diary), notice the moon shines through the window at the top center and shines on the floor

Click where it hits and a previously-hidden door will open

Click in the opened doorway

Click on the Kriss Blade (wavy sword) to add it to your Inventory

Click on Inventory and Use the sledgehammer on the wall

Click on the hole in the wall

If you need it, the water running down the middle of the screen will be clickable. Click on it to replenish a bit. If it isn't needed, then it's not clickable

Click ahead

Use the sledgehammer on the lock

Click on the winding path to the right

A new puzzle! Oh goody!

There are 4 plaques with options for either a solid circle or the outline of one. Your task, should you wish to accept it (and move on), is to guess which should be which to get through. Click on a plaque to change it.

Once you've done what you think the solution is, click on the lever to the right. This will either open the gate or reveal a number.

This number reveals how many you have correct. I've gotten lucky and gotten it on my 2nd attempt every time so far. The code for me was outlined, solid, outlined, outlined. This changes each game. My 2nd time doing it was solid, outlined, solid, solid

You get 4 chances to get the code right or it resets

Once the gate has opened, click on the barely-visible corpse just to the right and get the C4 pack

Click ahead

You can either use Telekinesis or the C4 pack to blow the gate that is now in front of you. It will also take out the guards that are there

After you do, a pistol comes sliding out of the carnage. Click on it to add it to your Inventory. (A Glock! SWEET!)

When you click on it and it's added to your Inventory, note that it says hitting the G key on your keyboard will arm the gun. (It will also put it away so you can continue without shooting at directional arrows)

Click ahead

Hit the G key on your keyboard now or prepare to use Telekinesis

Take out the 3 guards. (Remember: Headshots if using the Glock)

Click on the stairs

Take out the 2 guards there

Go to the lift (elevator, for us American folks)

Click on the button to the left and either press G now or prepare to use Telekinesis

Take out the guard that comes down with the lift/elevator

Click in the lift/elevator

Chapter: Execution (Pt 2)

When the doors open, a pretty cool building is in front of us

Just off to the right there is a stone thing. Click on that

Click on Inventory and Use the Kriss Blade/wavy sword on it

Click outside of it to return to the previous view

Click on the big, scary doors

Nothing happens in this view. Click ahead

Click on the door at the end of the hallway and take a deep breath

There sits Vlaew on his throne. (If you've done any amount of reading in the first 2 versions of Exmortis, or read around in this game, you'll know who this is). He's not known for his gentle demeanor

Click on Vlaew to have a chat

He's giving you the first shot. Use it wisely

Click on Powers and use either Telekinesis or Destruction on him. (Note: Using Destruction is a little bit harder simply because the red area you have to catch the slider in is much smaller than you've been used to)

Vlaew will go flying out of the window behind him

Where did he go?

Either click on Powers and use Teleportation to go outside or click and go back the way you came. (I give all of these choices but I tend to try not to use powers when the chance is given [and there's another option], because using powers lowers health)

Click on the ladder to go down

Ah! Theeeeeeere he is! He's using some kind of force field to protect him. (Hey! Where's OURS?!?)

Yet another chat

The quicker you do these next steps, the better for your health. Remember, for speed's sake, you can hit the 1 and 5 keys on your keyboard to switch between Telekinesis and Destruction Powers

Use Telekinesis on the orange spots at the tops of either side of the force field. It will drop momentarily

(If he gets a stone thrown at you, Use Telekinesis on those as well)

When the force field drops, hit the 5 key on your keyboard to switch to Destruction and use it on him

1) I tend to do better when the meter moves real slow. Apparently my reflexes are going away with age.

When Vlaew starts to move a boulder or starts to throw a fireball in the later battle, it slows down for a bit. Well, it does on my dinosaur of a PC.

2) I have played this game umpteen times and have YET to see a dang preacher's diary. Can someone do a dang screen shot of it, even circle the dang thing so I can see if I just have a glitch?

3) Also, I just heard from someone that there's some boat keys somewhere. HUH?

4) I have tried and tried to record a video walkthrough of this game but even with hardware acceleration on "none", it's still too jumpy and an hour long game takes an hour and a half. Fizzy is having trouble helping me understand why this game won't activate on my Vista laptop too. It's got a better processor and more RAM. I've done everything they've said but I get an error message saying that there's no account associated with the data I've entered. It's already installed and activated on another computer with the same info (but with XP). :o( (Only mentioning this in case anyone has any advice).

Brilliant!!!!!! BUT! What a lot of faffing about, did the inventory really need to open up like that every bloody time i pick something up? i really enjoyed the first chapter as i could run around and explore where i wanted but after that i had to go where the game sent me.
i do however hope there is a 4th episode,
i really want to know where the portal you go through after killing Vlaew comes out!

The part in the beginning where you go into the house that the man killed his family then himself, you figure out that you don't have much time after the cellar. What do you do after that?
I'm completely clueless!!!
